Baby likes Metal

I have a little metal head living inside me. I've never gone out of my way to listen to heavy metal...until now. I can't change it from the metal station, for fear I will miss the awesome sounds of NIN or 5 Finger Death Punch. Seriously - Bad Company is one of the best remakes I have heard in a long time.

So I'm attributing this change in listening preference to the baby. She must really like to rock out, that is the only answer. Don't get me wrong, we still listen to classical when I cook. But in the car - it's the heavy stuff.

Amy

I was in a Ryan Adams mood tonight and was thinking about the first song I ever heard from him. It was probably around 2001/2002 ish. I was making a CD for my sister and trying to find all songs named Amy when this one came up. The video isn't very good, but the song is still good quality.

Running at Red Rocks

The first time we went to Red Rocks it was on a Sunday morning. It is so beautiful there. And we were surprised to see so many people working out! Running the stairs, all kinds of excercise. So we made a promise to ourselves to go back and do it too. And today we did. It was wonderful! Running zigzags across all the benchs from the bottom to the top is a 5K. We probably ran about half then did some other workouts, but it was definetly one of the funnest workouts I have ever had. Being out in nature, surrounded by such beauty, you forget you are working out (besides the insane swamp ass). One of the coolest parts was there was some guy playing that Ricola horn (no idea what the real name is). It just added to the entire astetics. I think we are going to try and go back there as much as possible. It's a bit of a drive, but totally worth it. It definetly beats the gym ANY day.

Side note, we went to Red Rocks on the 4th of July to see Collective Soul, Live, and Blue's Travelers. The first two were great....ahhh, the 90's were such a great time. So many memories!! We only stayed for about 40 minutes of Blue's Travlers though, they came on late, and by that time the cloud of MJ smoke (coming surprising from the 40+ crowd) surrounding us had gotten to me. Still, it was such an awesome venue! Look at the website to see the pics. For some reason I can't find the ones we took in June.

Music & Lyrics

So the new Millencolin CD - Machine 15 is coming to America on May 6th!! I've loved Millencolin since the first time I heard No Cigar. I've heard a few of the songs from the new album....amazing. I'm going to have to get this CD for the Road Trip!

These lyrics to Turnkey Paradise kind of fit my current situation, with leaving the city and moving to the burbs...

You saw it all on TV
You read it all in magazines
No doubt that you could go on

You found a way to be free
This is what freedom really means
You found a place where that you belong

So welcome to suburban home
Welcome to a life only in chrome
For those who can't afford the market price
This is your paradise

Waiting to be found
Safe from the, far from the city
Your life when everything is pretty wack
And you're never looking back

Faraway from problems and fights
You'll learn what life is all about
In a place where we're all safe and sound

You had it all planned out right
Already you know it will turn out
No second thoughts, you are on solid ground

So welcome to suburban home
Welcome to a life only in chrome
For those who can't afford the market price
This is your paradise

Safe from the, far from the city
Your life when everything is pretty wack
And you're never looking back

You're never looking back

Safe from the, far from the city
Your life when everything is pretty wack
And you're never looking back

Looking back..
Looking back...
Never looking back...


This song is great, typical Millencolin. I highly encourage you to check them out!
